CITY OF CHJCAGO SCORES A VICTORY

Mueller Law is Held' Valid by Judge Thomas G. Windes in His Decision. WEANS MUCH TO THE CITY ACT PROVIDES FOR THE ISSUANCE OF $75,000,000 WORTH OF STREET " RAILWAY CERTIFICATES. Publishers Press Chicago, Z: ; ;;t. 15. Judge Thomas G. Windes, In the circuit court, decided in favor of the city of Chicago In the injunction suit based on the Mueller law, which provides for the issuance of $75,030,000 worth of railway certificates by the city. Theaw was declared constitutional by the court, who also held that subsequent ordinances regarding the purchase and operation of the street railways passed by the city are in compliance with the law. The decision was a complete victory for the city, the court holding against every point advanced fcy Hie complainants in their bill, which tvas dismissed for want of equity. , The court keld out that it was the evident purp.ose of the legislature and of Chicago city council, in the laws and ordinance passed by those bodies, to give the city the right to municipal ize the street railways. Regarding the alleged unconstitutionality of the Mueller law, the court declared that while thre may be in some points a doubt as to the intent of the legislature, he believed the doubt should favor what appeared to be the inten tions of the legislature in enacting the measure.

The interior of the "house was wrecked by the fight, which was only stopped by a large posse of constables hastily sworn in. Four of the rioters were 'odged in jail. To Prevent Filibustering. New York, Sept. 14. That the Unit ed States government proposes to scrutinize closely all shipments of firearms, ammunition and munitions of war to West Indian, Mexican, Central American and South American ports primarily to prevent filibustering for the Cuban insurgents became evident when a special order on the matter was issued by Nevada N. Starahan, collector of the port. The order pre eludes any clearances from this date to any vessels bound for such ports until full verified manifests shall have been filed with the collector, or until the captains or agents have taken oath whether arms or munitions are on their vessels.

Adams was held as a witness in the Steunenberg caso. and is being brought to Wallace to anv.er to the "charge of murder.

Publishers' FressJ New Yoi, to. ... vour persons, whose names are un.kjaown, weri drowned from a la'jch in the lowei bay when the launch was overturned in a collision with a scow. Four othei members of the party in the launch three men and a woman clung to the bottom of the craft until they were rescued and brought to Stapleton, Staten Island, by the steamer El Paso. At Quarantine station they refused to give their names or to tell those of the persons drowned. The launch was found to be the Sausage, belonging to W. W. David of Jamaica, L. I. David was among those rescued. It was said by those who" picked up the little boat that it must have been dangerously - overloaded. It seemed incredible that eight persons would trust their lives to so small a boat on a stormy night. The dead include three women and one man. Ex-Confederates at Gettysburg. Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. 15. On the historic battlefield, where they clashed for supremacy, the survivors of General Pickett's division of the Confederate army met in fraternal re union the survivors of the Philadelphia brigade, which was composed of four regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers.

REBELS DEFEATED BY LOYAL TROOPS

Engagement Fought Near Havana in Which Government Comes Out Victor. MORE FIGHTING REPORTED BUSINESS MEN OF CUBA ARE FOR INTERVENTION BY THE UNITED STATES, AND EVEN PALMA'S FRIENDS WANT IT. Publishers' Press! Havax, . government forces have won a victory over the rebels at a point close to Havana. General Rodriues, with 400 rural guardsmen, attacked the rebels under General Del Castillo and Colonels Asbert and Acosta, 1,000 strong, at Wajay, 12 miles south of Havana. After a stubborn fight the rebels were dispersed. Eight of their number were killed and 23 were wounded. Of the guards, one was killed and 13 were wounded. General Rodriguez returned TKESIPEXT PALMA, to Havana. There is considerable speculation as to why the enemy was not pursued. Heavy fighting is reported near El Cano, 10 miles southwest of Havana. No details have yet been received. A force of rebels destroyed two stone badges over a highway near Cabanas. The commander of the Cespedes, a coast guard vessel, has been arrested for negligence in allowing ammuni tion for the revolutionists to be landed near Rios. The letter of President Roosevelt to Senor De Quesada, the Cuban minister, is the great topic of the day among Cubans and foreigners alike. Far from considering his references to American intervention as something to be dreaded, it is almost universally regarded as the most desirable consummation possible of the trouble. There are some persons who do not agree with this view, but . they are very rare. All the business interests are anxious for intervention, and even the politician's admit that this would be the best outcome. Some of the government officials who are closest to President Palma privately welcome the idea and the president himself desires protection, though not permanent intervention. The "American cruiser Des Moines arrived here Saturday morning. All on board are well. Cuba's congress in special session gave President Palma carte blanche to suppress the revolution. The authority conferred on him includes the right to appropriate any public funds for-war purposes, revoking appropriations voted at the preceding session of congress in order to permit the diversion of moneys Involved to prosecute the war, and authorizing increases of the rural guards to 10,000 and the artillery. to 2,000 men. This triples the former force of rural guards and doubles the artillery. These measures, which were combined in one blanket bill, wee passed by party votes, the Liberals and Independents refraining from voting and the Liberal Nationalists voting with the Moderates. President Palma submitted a brief message deploring the conduct of the opposition, whom he charged with responsibility for causing the rebellion. McArthur Lieutenant General. Washington, Sept. 15. By direction of the president, commissions have been prepared for Major General McArthur to be lieutenant general of the army; Brigadier General Jesse H. Lee as major general, and Captain J. Pershing as brigadier general. These promotions are made to fill vacancies incident to. the retirement of Lieutenant General Corbin. Haul by Cracksmen. Portsmouth, O., Sept 15. A daring robbery was committed at Peebles, this county, when cracksmen looted the postofEce and made a rich haul. They shattered the safe and got away with much booty. The amount taken can not be estimated now, but Jt will exceed $500. A posse has been formed to run down the gang which eseaced on a handcar. Washington, sept. IS.- jc-h G. i--rett,' American minister to Colombia, has sent a dispatch ta the state department announcing his arrival at Guayaquil, after 41 days, and 1,600 miles travel on mule back over almost inaccessible mountains. He will await the arrival of Secretary of State Root. Mr. Barrett says he regards the region traversed by him as possessing the best undeveloped opportunities of all Nicholson's for school books.

NAVAL VESSELS TO CARRY OFFICIALS

Secretaries Taft and Bacon Will Go to Cuba in a Formidable Array ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE THE MARIETTA ARRIVES AT CIEN FUEGES TO PROTECT THE SU GAR PLANTATIONS ROOSE VELT'S LETTER. EFublishers' Pressl Washington, boyt. 15. Secretary of War Taft and Acting Secretary of State Bacon arrived here after their momentous conference with President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. At this conference the decision was reached that Secretaries Taft and Bacon should proceed to Cuba and investigate the situation there. It is certain that a naval vessel will be used to take the cabinet officials to Havana. Preparations for the trip have been completed. A dispatch was received from Com mander Fulham of the Marietta stat ing that a force had been landed from that ship at Cienfuegos to protect sugar plantations which were threatened. A cablegram also was received at the state department from Mr. Atkins, one of the owners of the Constancia estate, near Cienfuegos, in which he says he received a cablegram from Cienfuegos announcing that insurgents raided Soledad, taking horses, and that the Marietta forces had arrived in Cienfuegos. He says information does not confirm press dispatches as to the destruction of sugar plantations. From dispatches received from Mr. Sleeper, charge of the American legation at Havana, it appears that the extent of damage to American property near Cienfuegos had been exaggerated. Mr. Sleeper says he has received a contradiction of the report that the Huatey estate had been destroyed. And thus far, he says, he has not been abl;? to confirm the report that the Constancia estate building has been buned. w . ur President's Letter. Senor Quesada, Cuban minister to the United States, received an important letter from President Roosevelt. It is a plea to Cuba to realize her responsibility as a self-governing republic and to restore peace in the island. Her attention is called in no uncertain language to the responsibility which the United States bears to the island and the certainty that such responsibility will necessarily be exercised should peace not be preserved. The president says in the letter that he has certain information that the peace of the island is menaced and that American property has been destroyed. The president says: T solemnly adjure all Cuban patriots to band together, to sink all differences and personal ambitions and to remember that the only way that they can preserve the independence of the republic is to prevent the necessity of outside interference by rescuing it from the anarchy of civil war. I earnestly hope that this word of adjuration of mine will be acted upon, and if so acted upon Cuba's permanent independence, her permanent success as a republic, are assured. "Under the treaty with your government I, as president of the United States, have a duty in this matter whicivl can not shirk. The third article of that treaty explicitly confers upon the United States the right to intervene for the maintenance in Cuba of a government adeouate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty. The treaty conferring this right is the supreme law of the land, and furnishes me with the right and means of fulfilling the obligation that I am under to protect American interests. The information at hand shows that the social bonds throughout the island have been so relaxed that life, property and individual liberty are no longer safe. I have received authentic information of injury to and destruction of American property. It is in my judgment imperative for the sake of Cuba that there shall be an immediate cessation of hostilities and some arrangement which will secure the permanent pacification of the island. "I am sending to Havana the secretary of war, Mr. Taft, and the assistant secretary of state, Mr. Bacon, as ffhe special representatives of this government, who will render such aid as is possible toward these ends. I ad hoped that Mr. Root, the secretary of state, could have stopped in Havana on his return from South America, but the seeming imminence of the crisis forbids further delay." BODIES FOUND Of Victims Who Went Through an Open Drawbridge. Toledo, O. Sept. a.--Six . bodies have been recoyeied and at least four more are being searched for in the Maumee rivex as a result of the accident Friday nigbt, when a handcar plunged through an open draw of the Maumee bridge. The men were track hands of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, according to time checks found on the bodies that have been recovered. It is believed all of those drowned were Italians from a station beyond this point. It Is claimed the men took the handcar without authority and were running on that road without orders. This is pay day on the road, and It is thought that they wanted to come into the city so as to be here when the r2r car started.
